In my opinion invasion of the body snatchers is a ok movie. My main problem is the cast. They could have been acted better actors. Also it’s a cheesy plot , but still somewhat well written. Most likely I wouldn’t ever watch it again, only if I had too.
The last night of their high school began with a borrowed Impala car. The audience experiences relationship woes, a sock hop, a mysterious blonde, and pranks on the cops. More importantly, as the movie goes on, daring street races, run-ins with greasers, vandalizing, and booming rock ‘n’ roll replace the happy atmosphere. The movie orchestrates many storylines and is full of fashionable nostalgia, music and vivacity of the night. The movie also crafted scenes with risky antics, using contemporary music to spectacularly enhance the tenor of the
Meta Critic felt the movie a bit more real to the touch, as appose to a mere mess says one critic Mick LaSalle (2015), “It’s a movie about a geeky teenager living in the Los Angeles hood, and something about it, or rather everything about it, feels real.” (“Meta Critic” Critic Reviews Section, para.1.). Although receiving much criticism from both, viewers at home, and of course the press, the movies stands a great success. We can all agree that the movie was a blast, critic or
One aspect of the film that the reviewers found to be positive was the plot. Scott states that “Kurt Sutter, torques this baby until it screams” (Scott par 4). This shows that the plot is filled with tiny twists and turns that ultimately make the movie a nail biter. The critic goes on to say “the plotting is somehow both flat footed and operatic in its absurdity”
There aren’t very many negative things to say about the film. Jackson Pollock’s character isn’t very likable, but it coincided

They return back to the states and place Cady into a public school for the first time. Cady meets her classmates and finds a few good friends the introduce her to a group of girls called the Plastics. She ends up joining the plastics with the motive of bring them down because her new friend don’t like them very much and thought it would be funny. However, she eventually gets assimilated into the group of three unkind girls and starts to be just like them.
This is an ironic and unfortunate example of a film that would have really been considered a lot better than it is if it were not for the book upon which it is based. It is clear that the film is strong and that it is well made, but when compared to Shelley's novel, it's really a pretty sad mess. The film by itself is more than able to captivate and impress, but to someone who knows the original story, it is a weak attempt to bring the story of Frankenstein and his monster to the big screen.
The film being analysed is the Breakfast Club, directed by John Hughes. Trapped in Saturday detention are 5 stereotyped teens. Claire, the princess, Andrew, the jock, John, the criminal, Brian, the brain, and Allison, the basket case. At 7 am, they had nothing to say, but by 4 pm; they had uncovered everything to each other. The students bond together when faced with the their principal, and realise that they have more in common than they think, including a hatred for adult society. They begin to see each other as equal people and even though they were stereotyped they would always be The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club highlights a variety of pressures that are placed upon teenagers through out high school. One of the most challenging aspects of screenwriting is creating characters that an audience can identify with, relate to, and be entertained by.
The Netflix movie, #realityhigh, released in 2017, is a movie about a young girl named Dani Barnes who finds herself changing both consciously and unconsciously to fit in with her new boyfriend’s popular crowd. Dani Barnes, a self-proclaimed nerd, has always been an outcast. Alexa Medina, an internet star, has always been a “mean girl” who strives off ruining the lives of other students that she believes to be socially inferior to her. Dani, who starts to date her dream man, Cameron Drake, also the ex-boyfriend of Alexa, she is forced to adapt to her new friends, which includes the conniving Alexa. This is a new world of popularity for Dani; she must modify her personality and daily activities to upkeep with her new friends and new boyfriend. The many teenagers, in the movie, who long for popularity do not realize that peer pressure and the need to appeal to an often shifting and arbitrary ideal of a "cool" kid makes their lives more difficult than those who envy them.
Unlike many, many, many of you out there that completely HATED this movie, I on the other hand was appeased. Right now, I know you all (that have seen the movie) probably think I'm nuts, but before you judge me, read my review and explanations.
...r, this movie is lack of depth of storyline. The audiences can even predict what will happen in the next scenes. Moreover, the ending of this movie is too cheesy and irrational according to me. If only they change the ending to become more interesting and rational, I will give a four or five stars out of five. In spite of a lame twist ending, this movie is a perfect example to show that managers should be able to motivate and challenge their employee. It is important to remember that a happy employee means a productive employee.
A critic review written by Michael Booth states “Grease, now 30 years old, if you can believe it, holds up for new generations because it captures the enthusiasm of youth and the vibrancy of California’s sunshine-and- cars culture.” In this review, Booth also points out that Grease still holds up as the highest grossed musical film in history. According to AMCs Filmsite, Grease is listed as one of the greatest films of 1978. This film has survived the test of time because of its comical, vibrant, and unforgivingly raw version of 1950s teenage love and life. The film includes many scenes that show teenage life and struggles that took place during this time. A scene that is relatable to teenagers then and now is when Rizzo and Kenicke are messing around in the back of his car; the condom breaks before the two engage in sexual activity but the naïve teenagers decide to chance not using one. Shortly following the condom mishap, Rizzo thinks she is pregnant and classmates go around talking about “the bun in her oven.” The obscenity of teenagers in this film is still seen today in many high schools across America, making this film relatable to many. Teenagers and young adults around the world can relate to the humor and sexual banter while most adults have seen the classical film keeping it relevant and on DVD shelves to be
‘Lad flicks’ or ‘lad movies’ is a type of film genre that emerged in the late 1990s. They are defined as a “‘hybrid of “buddy movies”, romantic comedies and “chick flicks”, which centre on the trials and tribulations of a young man as he grows up to become a ‘real man’. ‘Lad flicks’ respond in part to the much-debated ‘crisis in masculinity’” (Benjamin A. Brabon 116). This genre of film explored what it meant to be a ‘real man’ in the twentieth century and in order to do so, they would have to grow up and leave their juvenile ways behind to enter the heterosexual world. Gender relations in ‘lad flicks’ portray masculinity as a troubled, anxious cultural category hiding behind a humorous façade and also rely greatly on a knowing gaze and irony. The two ‘lad flicks’ that will be analyzed are The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Judd Apatow 2005) and Role Models (David Wain 2008).
Finally the movie is a good movie. Actually this movie doesn’t need any improvement. The writer, actresses, and actors did their best. They tried to make a point and be a creative about it and that is exactly what they did. It is an amazing movie. I
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
